Topic: Adobe Framemaker

Subject: invisible footer

Question
I gave an old 5.5 copy of Framemaker that I have never been able to get the footers to show on the master page. I can add a footer but the original footer always gets printed below the one I add. The original footer is "page number" followed by "Great Events of the Twentieth Century" This ghost footer is never seen until you print but if I do a find and change on the master page I can edit it. Why can't I see it?

Answer
Arthur - Without seeing your document - I can only guess that maybe you have a "frame" of some type "in front" of it. Maybe try selecting the frame and then on the Menu bar - Select GRAPHIC - Then if available select - "Bring to Front"

Otherwise send me a copy of the document "at least 1 page" so I can take a look at it.

Be sure to put "Framemaker" in the subject line.
